Lemon Surprise Crackles

Surprise crackles have always been a huge favorite for Super Man and me. We don't always have the same taste when it comes to cookies, but these cookies are common ground...and that means you better snag some for yourself or you're outta luck. :)

Well, this year with the chocolate pomegranate cookies being added to the mix along with the traditional chocolate chip, buckeye balls, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut clusters, chocolate mints, etc etc etc....I thought I'd mix it up a bit and try some Lemon Surprise Crackles. You already know that I'm a lemon junky...but these are SO GOOD! I can't believe I have never made them before....yummmpppphhhh....oops, I got crumbs on my keyboard. :)

Make these!

Pour powdered sugar into a bowl. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on lined baking sheet, repeat. I only bake 12 at a time to make sure the cookies don't run into each other. Bake 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cracked on top and the edges just start to brown.Allow to cool on sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.Yields 2-3 dozen

About Me

Most of all I enjoy spending time with my beautiful family! I have been truly blessed to find my Wolverine. He is the most incredible man I have ever met, my best friend and my partner in crime! We have the 2 most amazing kids - Ze-Ra and Te-Man and they are quite the adventure! I LOVE doing anything outside - gardening, hiking, walking, camping, biking, mowing the grass, I even enjoy weeding the garden (a little). I have an addiction to my kitchen - I cook, I can, I bake, and I EAT! I also have a love affair with my sewing machine. That love affair has led me to open my own diaper shop at http://hyenacart.com/stores/honeybeebottoms/ :)
